Information for refugees

Refugee students are welcome at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) to continue their studies or start in new programmes. The links below will guide you to the possibilities available and the departments that can help you with the procedures and provide you with the necessary information.

UNIL programmes taught in English : if you are a prospective student in a master's programme that is taught in English (HEC, Biology), we would like to draw your attention to the fact that you may have to do a preparatory year taught in French.

Tutoring and mentoring systems during your studies

At your service - useful information for your studies :

• Social Affairs and Student Mobility Office (SASME) : the SASME can be contacted for advice or, during your studies, for some extra financial support in case of a difficult social situation, for example for a integration grant for French courses at the School of French as a foreign language (EFLE) or for a reduction of the semester fees.
